Deck Description

The main goal of the deck is to cheat Griselbrand into play ASAP and win from there

How to Play

*We need to cast zombie infestation early. Idealy discarding Griselbrand + reanimate spell with Flash back ( dread return can be flashbacked using the same tokens we created ).
*Once we have Griselbrand + zombie infestation we can draw into:

1.Confessor. So we can discard to Zombie infestation and get life back from it, to draw even more cards, we will be amassing 2/2 zombie tokens in the process. but is main goal is to sustain Griselbrand as a drawing engine.

2.Children of korlis. so we can sac it to recover ALL the life we have spent on Griselbrand (it remembers the life lost, ex: we pay 7 life to draw, then sac children , we will gain 7 life, if we pay 7 life again to draw more and sac another children, we will gain 14 life this time).

3. Carnival of souls. So we can convert 2 cards in hand and 1 life into 1 token +1 black mana.
It is best used once we have confessor so we can just add mana and not lose any life (if we have more than 1 confessor then this will turn into a mana/life gain engine as well).
This is mainly used to be able to cast anything relevant we draw into ( draw 7 cards, discard 6 to make 3 tokens and add 3 black mana, use that mana to cast the relevant card, like exhume or immortal servitude for x=1).

4. Immortal servitude. Always used with X=1 to bring back confesor and childrens (i know it doesnt sound right :c)

5. Sanguine bond as one of our winning conditions once we have looped the children a few times (if we only account life loss from Griselbrand and exclude carnival of souls. first children will gain us 7 life, second one 14life, Third one 21 and so on... and once we have no more children on library we will bring them back wiith Immortal servitude, so we are talking about reaching the + 80 life gain per children levels).

6. Gempalm polluter. So we can cycle once we have absurd amounts of tokkens in play ( or earlier, we can shuffle him back with elixir and draw him multiple times this way).

7. Elixir of immortality. so we can shuffle our grave back and draw our entire library indefinetely ( as long as we discard to infestation).

8. Kuro is there as a second reanimation target to clear the board if we need to.

*Remember Griselbrand + confessor can make us draw our entire library until we draw a carnival and start getting mana back from our discards.
